Autonomous Resilient Architectures

About the Project

Autonomous Resilient Architectures:design autonomous, fractionated and swarm-style constellation architectures with self-reconfiguration and self-healing capabilities, demonstrated in high-fidelity simulation and CubeSat/robotic prototypes. (MBSE, multi-agent RL, ROS/AGI-STK).

What you’ll gain: hands-on systems design, cutting-edge AI/autonomy experience, access to DSTL expertise and secondments, opportunities for experimental prototyping and conference travel, plus the real-world challenge of engineering resilient systems for an increasingly contested and critical space for the global economy.

Who should apply: Final-year MEng students and MRes/MSc students in Design Engineering (or closely related disciplines) with strong interest/experience in systems design, autonomy, robotics, AI/ML and/or aerospace. Motivated candidates with interdisciplinary ambition are encouraged.

How to express interest: Email me back with your CV and a one-paragraph statement of interest (which project excites you and why). I’ll arrange informal chats with the supervision team and DSTL for promising applicants.

Requirement: British citizenship
